September 11th: Part Deux!

"Dear Sir or Madam:

Sooner or later, 9/11 will happen again...

Are we ready?

This is a suspenseful action thriller. Off the coast of Saudi Arabia, bypassing all international security measures, terrorists hijack an Oil Super-Tanker headed for the United States. Without knowing how many tankers have been hijacked or which ones they are, it is now left in the hands of an American College student, the new Director of Homeland Security and an elite group of US soldiers to stop the hijackings. But if they cannot find the ship, then, for the citizens of New York City, it may be another September 11th, only worse.

He should have made the bad guys Nazis

"Logline: A killer stalks a teacher and his students at a mysterious archeological site.

Short Synopsis: A popular college lecturer with his colleague and former lover and some adventurous students -- who've tagged along uninvited -- search for a missing professor in and around an archeological dig. A rock spirit, according to local legend, haunts some nearby boulders, and a mysterious entity kills two of their number.

With a small cast and two locations, this is ready to rock."

I guess her life sucks, eh?

"A nineteen-year-old girl is constantly struggling to balance her escapist heroin addiction with quasi-maternal drives to protect her tormented brother and a visceral hatred for her rapist father that fuels a constant and gnawing desire for vengeance. But her father's dark past has resurfaced and, as her plans for retribution collapse within a cloud of murder and unearthed terrors, she is forced onto a shocking new path; a path that leaves her racing against time not only to save her brother, but to escape a life of debauched servitude."

I'll take 3

"Logline: In an attempt to save its desperate fortunes, a world-famous, preppy mail-order company slips a thinly-veiled vibrator into the pages of its conservative catalog and causes a national fervor.

Its Riley Beene's 28th birthday and he's now in charge of Beene Brothers, his family's famous catalog company in Maine. If he can ride out three weeks at the top, he'll inherit a twenty million dollar trust fund. But his father, the departing CEO, has drained the company and it doesn't look like they'll last that long... unless someone comes up with something fast. Enter an old flame of Riley's with movie star looks and a feminist agenda. Her brilliantly-vague new product comes with four double-A batteries and a healthy dose of controversy.

She soon takes to drinkin' and shinin' with the pair, making good quality whisky that aggravates the local competition. After all, she knows that he's responsible for her dad's death and finds that stealing his trade is sweet revenge after all. But whisky and guns don't mix and for a young girl who's only dream was to leave the backwoods behind, she'd better be careful how that dream comes to pass."

This already happened on Angel. I *heart* David Boreanaz!

"A normal paralegal in a typical law office on an average day, Henry didn't think anything was strange when the lawyers threw boxes at her and screamed for raw meat. Even the bloodstained shirts and screaming secretaries didn't seem terribly unusual. And yes, it was a little odd that Edward John Johnson tried to eat her face, but he'd always been touchy-feely. Henry wasn't alarmed until she saw something so disturbing, so implausible, that she nearly became paralyzed with shock. The bloody, twitching lawyers, who had already eaten most of the support staff, were putting papers into files. Yes, she and the other survivors realized, this was the apocalypse, and they were going to be eaten by the swarm of lawyer zombies driven by their bloodlust to eat live flesh and reorganize files. Now, maybe, just maybe, if they can make it to the service elevator, an elevator the lawyers don't know exists because it is a functional part of the office, they can escape. But if they are going to die, by god, they're going to take some lawyers with them. This is a horror-comedy that is more than happy to hack and eat it's way through zombie lawyers and obnoxious office staff to reach the elusive service elevator."

Clarification on the sharks!

"I'd like to ask you for your kind permission in allowing me to submit a hard copy of my script KING SHARK. It's family-children oriented and it has a sequel, PLANET SHARK. I'd really be very happy if you allowed me to submit it to you, for your evaluation.

Wayyyy better than THE SHINING -- NOT!!

"This horror/suspense would be popular (and not cost much to make). Great acting roles and the last 25 minutes rivals that of THE SHINING - as for as horror goes. This is the story about a normal college kid who is haunted by the ghost of a student who was murdered ten years earlier by his history professor, the very same history professor that the student now has.

A man warns both our hero and his girlfriend of the professors' secret agenda. He tells them that they are the only ones who can save the kidnapped victims presently chained up at the professors' home. Yet, is our boy believing the right person? The informant may not be the innocent ghost he claims. However, the student and his girlfriend step up and break into the professors' house. It is there where they experience the scariest horror house ever imagined, thanks largely to an ax murderer in a ski mask (the lady is recognized after he removes her mask). When the professor finally arrives home, the two students get to go face to face with a serial killer one who is responsible for three decades worth of murders.

Still, the professor is just one third of the killing team. The man reappears but he really isn't who he appears to be nor is he a ghost. The students were chosen as the next victims, stalked and tricked to end up in the solitude of this terrifying home. The man got to play the role as ghost thanks to his creepy aura and the student being unknowingly punctured with a hypodermic needle containing a hallucinating drug right before class (by the lady), thus creating the crazy illusions.

Sooner or later, the Professor and his secret horror house would eventually be found out by the authorities, which leads the man to stab the professor and cut his ties, claiming it was just a matter of time till the Professor was caught.

Now acting as the flies caught in the killer's web, the couple are facing death, but luckily, another student (our guy's nemesis from school), escapes from a treasure chest, clubbing the man therefore saving his foe, and it is our boy who gets to put an end to the last part of the serial killer team."

Stay in college, kid.

"This screenplay is not your typical comedy. It is a "Dumb and Dumber" meets "Pulp Fiction" kind of thriller. It involves the naïve Rusty discovering that the president is staging a war to cover up an extra-marital affair. In negotiations, it is determined that Rusty can do anything he wants for three days that is within reason in exchange for keeping this crucial information a secret. Rusty goes through a hilarious chain of events, and he does it all without the film losing the appeal of well thought out action movie. This film contains both original comedy and meaningful action. Everything in the film happens for a reason, and it unfolds with a beautiful twist in the end."

Could you imagine the one-sheet for this?

"Who will deal with the children of treachery?" grieving widows lament throughout the jungle swamps.

Maum, his young protégé Amio, the patriarch Hato, and Kani the Legendmaker have little doubt that the mysterious Tuans will try to change their headhunting ways. But how? And to what purpose? Or will "tuwi asonai man," their ancient ideal of treachery, swallow up Tuan Don, his beautiful-blond-blue-eyed wife Carol and their baby?

This violent drama with an uplifting Christmas ending is based on Don Richardson's book recounting his missionary work among the Sawi in 1960's Indonesia."

Oh my god, the "it's all in your mind" twist -- SO overdone!!

"An Iraqi/American, believes she lives in the city of Acheron, a sort of Rock 'n' Roll Heaven and Hell. It is presided over by a man who is a combination of Jimmy Swaggart-type preacher, Tony Robbins and Saddam Huessein. Acheron is populated exclusively by dead 20th century pop culture icons: everyone from Marilyn to Martin Luther King Jnr. and JFK; from Elvis and Jimi Hendrix to Gandhi. The thing is, most of these people have forgotten who they were. They seem oblivious to their former superstar status and power, and worship instead their tin god leader, who has media hypnotised them into following his treachorous ways. Our heroine is a Shi'ite refugee who fled Iraq after her parents were butchered to death by Saddam Huessein, but now she believes she is the re-incarnation of James Dean. The Rebel Without A Cause has finally found one - to convince the population of Acheron to rise up against their slave status and defeat the evil power of Swayer. But there's just one small problem, her shrink, who's trying to persuade her that she's not James Dean and Acheron only exists inside her deluded mind. And so her fight begins."

Behold! I am back with this gem!

"I am contacting you regarding potential representation of my screenplay 'The Fartiste.' Logline: The true story of Joseph Pujol, the most popular performer in 1890s Paris: can a man with a musical ass hope to be taken seriously as an artist?

On several occasions, Johnny Depp has expressed an interest in playing Pujol (see Playboy Interview) -- but I believe that this tragicomic role would appeal to several big-name actors."

Have you seen my baseball?

"LOGLINE: This is a heart-warming family comedy about how the special-ed kids teach their bus driver how special he is, as their impromptu field-trip becomes an FBI manhunt for the PTA's most-wanted.

SYNOPSIS: Our man thinks he's nothing special - a volunteer fireman in the small town of Sunshine, Maryland and driver of the special education school bus. When the beloved special-ed teacher dies, and he falls in love with her replacement. After the jackass of a school principal decides the "special" kids can't join the others on a school-wide camping weekend, he decides to take the kids on an impromptu field trip to Florida with their eteach. With sleeping bags in hand, they see nothing wrong with fulfilling the kids' expectations for a weekend of fun.

The special kids include:- a smart-ass diabetic who doesn't believe he’s a "sped,"- a girl who is wheelchair-bound from a traffic accident,- a boy with Muscular Dystrophy,- a boy with Down's Syndrome,- a chronically depressed girl- an autistic boy who wears a helmet he won't let anyone take off.

Since they believe they have valid permission slips, they give-up fighting the narrow-minded school administration, and take the kids on what becomes a hilarious weekend of well-intentioned misadventure. It’s a heartwarming, family-comedy about breaking free of socially-imposed barriers."

Watch out for them Hungarian 'land' Vikings...

"GENRE: Adventure / Fantasy

SIMILAR FILMS: Whale Rider,... Stand By Me,... and The Goonies

When the Wildwood Summer Camp bus pulls into the school’s parking lot, Lil Bobby steps off the bus and into his mother’s packed car. Lil Bobby didn’t know that while he was at camp, his parents decided to move from Pensacola, Florida to Lake Horn, Nevada to care for his ailing grandfather, Noah, an eccentric man who believes the entire town of Lake Horn was once covered by a lake almost as big as one of the Great Lakes. Although Noah lives in the Nevada desert, he resides in a beach-styled house built on stilts fifteen feet high. The house is equipped with inflatable tubing and life boats.

When Noah dies, Lake Horn is hit by a series of devastating Hurricanes (That’s right,... Hurricanes in Nevada), signaling the lake’s return. Noah dies the day after Lil Bobby and his family arrives, but before he dies, he tells Lil Bobby that 700 years ago, a group of Magyars - Asian Nomads or ‘land’ Vikings, crossed the Pacific into North America and began raiding the Native villages all along the Western coast. One day the Magyars stumbled on an inland waterway that flowed into the majestic Lake Horn. The Magyars continued their raid on the villages around the lake until a Native Spiritual Chief casts a spell on the Magyars that made them and the lake vanish. Now, time has run out on the spell and the Magyars are back, which means the lake can’t be too far behind.

"Unwilling to let people know he's ill, a young man breaks up with his girlfriend, struggles to find someone else for her, and sets off to live the rest of his life alone. But what happens when he finally meets the love of his life? Will he stay, or run from a life that's at last worth living?"

After the accident, all Gramps and Gumbo could do was stand back and watch as Moonshine’s eyes flushed with tears while he bid farewell to his little friend… but for reasons unknown, the little pup came back to life at Moonshine’s gentle touch."

Somewhere, someone is creeping me out.

"Two horrible and ugly bugs, decide to hire a loser Brazilian scriptwriter, to write a script on all bugs, making them look good and funny, turning them into super-heroes!

He writes a hilariouso story about the bugs, making them really look good! Even cockroaches thenafter, try to persuade him to write further scripts on them too!"

This was legitimately submitted to a query website that emails me various script pitches, but I am really hoping that someone decided to write a false pitch and submit it as a joke. Otherwise, this is just too frightening.

This will win more Oscars that LOTR:ROTK, I can just tell from this query!

Paladin, as a concept, means an extremely noble, heroic and religious knight - the symbol of all that is right and true. As such, he has high ideals that he MUST maintain at all times. This epic screenplay itself is a careful mixture of medieval adventure, chivalry, religion, fantasy, divinity and the supernatural - not to mention the "must-haves" of romance and action. If you liked Lord of the Rings, Gladiator or Troy, then you are going to love this. I am a foreign writer, and have just completed the task of turning one of my long-term ideas into a screenplay. I have been writing and telling stories throughout my 30-years and I especially excel in the fields of fantasy and medievalism. Here in my country we have very few opportunities to make decent films, so the kind of script that I have in my hands, is virtually impossible to do in our movie-making business. Rest assured that I have considered all basic issues such as American standard and guidelines for producing a blockbuster film. This script can, and should, be made into a film ONLY in America, the great home of cinema.

You know, I got the fratboy query this morning as well, but ManagerGuy beat me to the punch. So, I present something from the archives for your entertainment.

Civilzing the world, one frat at a time.

"It's time for a fraternity comedy nothing like Animal House or Old School. In those movies, we are supposed to laugh at the type of characters in the Greek system and the wild adventures experienced in a fraternity.

But what about the majority of us that just think fratboys are jerks?

That is the base of Fratboy Missionaries. It is a very dark comedy about two brothers (Corey and Hunter) that go around the world and set up fraternities in third world countries. Much like religious missionaries, they view their purpose as saving people's souls. Tongue-in-check, Corey and Hunter become our heroes as they seek to civilize the rest of the world."

I want sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads!

"There is a shark planet formed by water only, in another galaxy! Its ruler king, together with his evil sharkies, which have now been upgraded, but still have red eyes and chicken feet, send a starship to earth, to kidnap a boy and his friends, bringing them to Sharkos, to sit trial before all evil sharkies!

Will the boy and his friends be able to persuade the king that he can become a major rock star on earth, with his band THE SHARKS? How will the kids ever return home? Will Space Shark help them?"

Reading this gave me a migraine.

"When a lab-created, "perfect" Russian spy decides to go renegade with five clones of herself -all of which she controls - and use them with the technology that formed her to keep self-replicating until she has total immortality and global power, the only person who can stop her is an identical twin who by miracle has her own, separate soul and consciousness. Knowing the destruction that will come if her evil half isn't stopped, this twin sets out on a perilous hunt in which she must find and kill six women that look exactly like herself before they get to her!"

The first sentence is all I need to run away -- fast!

"This story is about a white bigot who is magically transformed into the body of a black man. He finds himself as the football coach at an all-black high school and must lead his team to victory over his all-white alma mater in order to change back to himself. The head coaches on the other team, who were the protagonist's best friends, are still bigots and now the antagonists in the story. Through a series of comic twists and turns, including an unexpected romance, our protagonist leads the team to victory and learns some valuable lessons about brotherhood, empathy and team spirit."

I hope she welds, too.

"She does all the wrong things. For all the right reasons. Which may explain her crimes. Which may explain the terms of her probation. She is serious, smart and struggling. Her world-weary sense of humor barely conceals the insecurity, the sensitivity, the fact she's only eighteen. Born to be a dancer, she is poetry in motion. Her physique, sleek and agile, is crowned by a pretty face -- "prettier," as the song goes, "if she smiled once in a while." No time for that, though. Not at The Royal Oak Ballet Company, where the door only opens to a chosen few and bodies are pushed to the limit.

She enters with undeniable gifts. But the other dancers notice her vintage, wrong-side-of-the-tracks attire. The jealous prima donna with killer instincts, notices. A fellow dancer, smitten at first sight, notices. And she notices them noticing. Still, she shines. To a point. The intimidating director points out she's all technique, no soul, no feeling. And any bluesman or bebop musician will tell you: knowing the notes ain't enough. So, how to fit in? With the best intentions, a little-known tale about Balanchine and a little shoplifting. Before you know it, she's in the back of a squad car.

A judge issues a plan: To find the soul to go along with the notes, she must volunteer in the most unexpected place: The Woodland Dance Studio, an extraordinary program for disabled young people. Along the way, a wild probation officer, a corrupt politician, a social worker from hell, a blithe spirit with wisdom to burn, a ballet legend on a mission, the coolest mom in the history of mom-hood and her mix of 1960's counter-culture leftovers, more than a few artful dodges, laughter and loss, harmonic convergence of the Small World variety, first love, and a very special heart-shaped locket all turn her world upside down. Her realization? She's missed the forest for the trees. And, when the budget axe falls and the politics get dirty, she springs into action and orchestrates the performance of a lifetime. She digs a deeper hole. She entertains law enforcement, again. And no one will ever be the same."

Another long one...but at least it's a cheap movie to make!

This story tells the answers to why and where the great pyramids came from and tells it through an adventure ride through time. It begins in the year 2365. "In the shadows of a maximum security government research base, a bald feeble looking man appears instantaneously 20 feet above the ground where he floats in free space for a fraction of a moment and then slams to the ground shattering his leg. The man cautiously drags himself through the yard of the facility, until he finds a window to a basement. He breaks the window and while climbing inside he picks up a piece of the jagged glass and takes it with him. He makes his way to an old, musty storage room and struggles to dig his way to the bottom of a junk pile where he finds an empty storage crate. The man rips out a handful of hair from his chest and jams it into a plastic bag that he found buried in an old fermenting trash can. He then tunnels himself to the bottom of the crate and gashes his wrists with the glass to his quick painful death."

The story then shifts another 75 years into the future. The same man is with a group of scientist. They are experimenting with time travel and believe they can send object back in time, but they have no way to return them to the present. They decide to send one person through. The goal is to have the man save DNA and then kill himself. He does so, and when they find his DNA, they use cloning to bring him back to life and he has a full memory of everything. That is how they travel back into the future.

The world is at war and there is much despair. The team of 8 scientists decide to all go back into time to four different periods. Each team has a mission to change the outcome of the world. The first three teams that are traveling must accomplish their tasks and then make it possible for the other teams to find their DNA. The first team goes back 4000 years to develop the first civilization. This is the reason for the Pyramids and the hidden tombs. In the tombs they find jars with body organs and other DNA that have survived 4,000 years. Teams two and three go back in time 1,000 years and 500 years respectively and team three is responsible for many changes in the world. They also leave very interesting clues about who they are and how their friends can find their DNA.

This story takes a wild ride back and forth over 4,000 years. It involves love, excitement, exploration and it even brings a possible answer to many unexplained phenomenons through out history. In the end, all but two of the team members are found and the world is, as it is today."

"Dr. Boyd is on the precipice of discovering something that will change the world.

Using stem cell technology, the brilliant research scientist has created a formula that can possibly regenerate skin cells and hair follicles. Burn victims, not to mention bald men, around the world will have a chance to live normal lives.

But when his project takes an unexpected and disastrous turn, Dr. Boyd begins to suspect that not everyone is as excited about his research as he is.

His suspicion leads him into a dangerous game of blackmail, drug deals, mob entanglements, medical espionage, and quite possibly, murder. For the first time in his life, he must use his intelligence outside of the comfort of his laboratory. But is he already in too deep?

This script takes a frightening look at research science as well as another cut-throat industry - Plastic Surgery - and the men who will stop at nothing to protect their own interests, even at the expense of all of mankind."
